The blue Indicator Light on the Pocket Sandwich Maker keeps shutting off.
This is normal. During the cooking process, the heating element will automatically turn on
and off to regulate the temperature and ensure that the Cooking Surface does not get too
hot or cold. When this occurs, the Indicator Light turns on and off.
How do I know when the Pocket Sandwich Maker is heated and ready to use?
When the Pocket Sandwich Maker reaches the optimal temperature, the blue Indicator
Light will turn off and that means you’re ready to get cooking!
There is no on/off button.
How do I turn the Pocket Sandwich Maker off and on? To turn on, simply plug in the power
cord. When you’re done cooking, turn off the Pocket Sandwich Maker by unplugging it.
When using my Pocket Sandwich Maker, the Cover gets hot.
Always lift and lower the Cover by the Cover Handle. To prevent personal injury, DO NOT
lift the Cover so that your arm is over the Cooking Surface as it is hot and may cause injury.
Lift from the side.
After using my Pocket Sandwich Maker a few times, food is starting to stick to the
surface. What is happening?
There is probably a build-up of burnt food residue on the Cooking Surface. This is normal,
especially when cooking foods with sugar. Allow the appliance to cool fully, pour on a little
cooking oil and let sit for 5–10 minutes. Scrub the Cooking Surface with a non-abrasive
sponge or soft bristled brush to dislodge food. Use a damp, soapy cloth to wipe down the
Cooking Surface. Rinse the cloth and wipe again. If food remains, pour on cooking oil and
let sit for a few hours, then scrub and wipe clean.
My Pocket Sandwich Maker is making a hissing sound while it’s cooking. Is this normal?
If you overfill the Pocket Sandwich Maker, it will make a noise as extra steam is released.
The Indicator Light will not turn on and the Cooking Surface is failing to heat.
Ensure that the power cord is plugged into the power outlet.
Check to make sure the power outlet is operating correctly.
Determine if a power failure has occurred in your home, apartment, or building.

For soft or jelly-like sandwich fillings, use
medium sliced white or whole wheat
bread. For small amounts of filling use
thinner bread.
Add butter to the Cooking Surface for
extra flavor or use a basting brush on the
bread slices before grilling.
Get fancy! Suggested garnishes for
sandwiches include: Lettuce, parsley, mint,
stuffed olive halves, onion, tomato etc…
A teaspoon of sugar sprinkled on the
outside makes toasted sandwiches
crispier (especially for sandwiches with
fruit fillings).
